Let me start with an apology. I’m sorry this week’s column isn’t very funny. Or very interesting. Or very relevant. I really wanted to write a truly terrific column for you, but I decided to take a nap instead, and by the time I woke up, there wasn’t sufficient time to do anything but throw together a bunch of slapdash nonsense, like this apology.
